A statement from AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly on the CDC’s decision to adopt ACIP’s harmful hepatitis B birth dose recommendation:

“Since the ACIP voted to downgrade the recommendation for a birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine, pediatricians are already reporting more parents declining to give their child this critical dose. The result, tragically, will be more children who are exposed to Hepatitis B during their early years. As a pediatrician, this is heartbreaking when we have a vaccine that can prevent so many infections, and it is deeply disappointing to see the continued dismissal of expertise to inform recommendations that have broad implications on the health of America's children.”

The AAP continues to recommend giving newborns a dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth with additional doses at 1-2 months and 6-18 months. Read more in AAP News: https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/33980?autologincheck=redirected

Today, ACIP is poised to vote on delaying the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose, a move that could put millions of kids at risk of lifelong disease.

Hepatitis B attacks the liver and can lead to liver failure, cancer, and death. About 90% of infants infected at birth with it will develop chronic hepatitis B infection. And among those with chronic infection, 25% will die prematurely from the disease.

For decades, ACIP has recommended a birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine to help build necessary resistance to hepatitis B infection. Because of the infant hepatitis B vaccine series, annual hepatitis B infections among infants and children have dropped 99% over the past 30 years.

AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."

For over 90 years, AAP has served as a leading voice in vaccine recommendations, updating its immunization schedule each year. That has not changed. We will continue to provide an evidence-backed vaccine schedule for parents and pediatricians and remain committed to supporting children’s access to immunizations for years to come.

The CDC just released their latest data on kindergarten vaccination rates, showing fewer children are immunized against polio, measles, diphtheria, and pertussis. Fortunately, most parents vaccinate their children. Every parent, policymaker, and public health leader in the country should be coming together to increase access to vaccines.
